Magnetised Ork Trukk [GorkaMorka] - Pictures Inside!

[spikedog]

OK so a few friends and I have decided to again start playing one of GW's best games; GorkaMorka!

I love the new Ork models, especially the new vehicles. So I picked up one of the new Trukk kits and went to work magnetizing it with all the various gubbins that can be bought for them in the game. This means that a lot of these magnetizations would be pointless for 40K I imagine (I don't play Orks or 40K in general so I wouldn't know). However I figured I would post it up for people to take a look at, if it helps anyone then great.

So here is the basic model, you can probably see I did a little conversion work on it to fit more Orks in. I added two exposed side steps that can each hold a model and I moved the firing turret to the back compartment suspended between the roll bars. It gives a better firing position and frees up the front seat for another Ork to use:



...without any of the removable parts on it:



...and with some gubbins attached:



Here you can see the underside of the trukk where I have put two mounting points for the boarding planks. You can also see the magnet holding brackets I added to the front in order to hold the bumper/rams:




I decided in order to be able to change the pintle mounted weapon I needed to remove it from the Ork's arm and put a magnet into the base of the weapon and into the bottom of the pintle. You can see that at the top of the image below.

Also I added a magnet to the corner of the side extension to hold the wrecker ball:

[EDIT] I just knocked up another weapon for the pintle mount, this time it is a Rokkit Launcher!



Finally here is a shot of all of the magnet locations on the gubbins and weapons:



Just to finish up here is a shot of the trukk loaded up with the whole gang:



If anyone has any questions or wants some more information/closer shots etc please feel free to ask away.

That's one awesome looking trukk!
I particularly like the rokkit launcher, it turned out really nicely.

Very good looking. Currently the best specimen to base trukk magnetizing on. You're more than welcome to post pictures of more Gorkamorka stuff of yours!
